The staff in the MDR were great. Very friendly. The food itself in the MDR wasn't the best main dining room food I have had. The choices were minimal and repeated, and the flavor wasn't there. Appetizers and desserts seem to be better done. By the 3rd day, I just ordered two apps and skipped the main course. My daughter has celiac disease, so she needs gluten free food. We ordered a GF pizza from the WJ on embarkation day. She ended up with food poisoning from it and spent the next two days in bed. I took her down to medical on day two. They were very kind to here. A shot later and she started to feel better.

Guest Services were nice, but exceedingly slow. I stood in line one time for 25 minutes. I was 3rd in line with 4 people working. A different time, it took TWO CALLS and 30 minutes to get someone to our room when we smelled (non cigarette) smoke. Scary.

All 3 of our shore excursion attempts at St. Thomas were canceled. I opted for location vendors for the rest of the stops. Those were all great.

We were in hump room 8102. The balcony was amazing! Location couldn't be beat. But it was really really loud from the central area entertainment at night.
